Pros

Talented & Fun Co-workers, Summer Hours, Quality Products and Fashion/Beauty network. Overall, my job meets my expectations. I own my own projects, am empowered to make decisions and feel supported by my manager. I am hopeful for career development and mobility as it was a big selling point at the time of recruitment.

Cons

There is no Culture! “One Shiseido” is a hollow slogan. No Flexible work policies. The systems are archaic and there is a severe lack of processes - both are detrimental to supporting the demands on growth, innovation and nimble decision making. The performance review process is stuck in the Dark Ages as the company rests its laurels on the benefits package offerings.

Pros

Collaborative team at the IC level Nice product perks and gratis Decent long-term stable company

Cons

Mid-level management feels stifled by ED and VPs who've been there for 10+ years without change and don't use modern leadership technique or philosophy. Unwilling to change their antiquated ways despite asks from Executives to modernize. Unclear leadership directives.
